^a LF indicates leaf tissue, TSL indicates immature tassel, and ES indicates immature ear shoot. ^bCovariance (r-value) was calculated for each pair of wild type replicates (WT) and mutant replicates (Mu) compared with the NOL plot and averaged to determine the average correlation between the NOL and each genotype (NOL:WT and NOL:Mu respectively). The average r-value of all replicates and genotypes for each tissue compared with the NOL (NOL:Total) is also reported. In cases where the r-value was negative, the absolute value was utilized for averaging. ^cTissues where apparent differences in nucleosome position were noted between wild type and mutant genotypes.
